The net sales increase of $274 million from the prior year quarter is primarily attributed to acquisition net sales of $267 million, an $18 million favorable impact from currency translation, and increases in selling prices due to the pass through of higher resin prices. These increases are partially offset by a 1% base volume decline.

The operating income increase of $17 million from the prior year quarter is primarily attributed to acquisition operating income of $26 million, and an $11 million decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses from cost reductions, and a $7 million decrease in depreciation and amortization. These increases are partially offset by an $18 million unfavorable impact from under recovery of higher cost of goods sold, a $5 million increase in business integration and restructuring costs, and a $4 million unfavorable impact from volume decline.
